Why support Oregon
Wave Energy Trust?
Wave energy is one key
part of the comprehensive
alternative energy
solution for Oregon.
And thanks to a
combination of unique
characteristics is
the only source of
energy where Oregon
enjoys such a clear
competitive advantage.
As a result, Oregon’s
wave energy industry
provides myriad opportunities
to deliver significant
economic benefits to the state.
Oregon Wave Energy
Trust (OWET) works
closely with our state-
wide stakeholders:
fishing and environmental
groups, coastal
communities and
industry, government
agencies and other
partners in responsibly
developing this new
industry while
establishing Oregon
as the North American
leader in wave energy.
The work that we do
is the real benefit we
offer our members.
